Leviton’s smart residential innovations hold the key to today’s most modern, convenient, safe, and efficient homes

In today’s electrification age, a host of lifestyle upgrades have been made possible through the advent of home control and connectivity, from the ease enabled by innovations like smart speakers and thermostats, robot vacuums, refrigerators that suggest recipes, ovens that can be preheated remotely, and outdoor irrigation systems that won’t water lawns when it rains thanks to their connection to local weather stations. Among the major brands at the forefront of this connected revolution, Leviton has long been a leader in “smart” living thanks to its broad range of smart switches and dimmers, lighting controls, sensors, panels, and more -- all integrated and readily accessible through the easy-to-use My Leviton app and all making life more comfortable and convenient than ever.

“When it comes to the smart home, reliability is the new innovation, and Leviton brings 120 years of trusted performance to the table,” shared Sydney Cheatham, Associate Marketing Manager, Residential at Leviton. “Among the many brands in the market, distributors and contractors can count on Leviton for both standard and smart home innovations that work reliably, can be built and scaled as necessary, and integrate seamlessly at the click of a button through the My Leviton app.”

Below, Cheatham discusses some of Leviton’s whole-home innovations that are ushering in a new day in smart living and helping channel members and homeowners alike seamlessly adapt to the electrification age:

Lighting Controls

Leviton offers both smart and non-connected products that readily integrate, enabling a homeowner to build a system at their own pace based on their budget and needs.

“We have a popular and expanding portfolio of downlights and surface-mount lights that pair beautifully with our lighting control devices, but our devices are designed to meet all lighting needs, as reflected in our tagline, ‘lighting controls for every home,’” Cheatham continued. “With Leviton, anyone can have a sophisticated dimmer in their home at an affordable price point to make their spaces feel customized. Our broad product line expands the audience of customers for these upgrade projects, and channel members might surprise their customers with how inexpensively they can elevate their lifestyle and home routine with Leviton solutions.”

Decora Smart

Leviton’s extensive line of Decora Smart switches and dimmers are modular and scalable for any need or budget.

“Some key go-to products that make for easy upsell opportunities include Decora Smart Switches for front porch lights for added security, Decora Smart Dimmers for spaces like living rooms to automate lighting and enhance safety by making spaces look occupied at night, and Decora Smart Motion Sensors to save energy in rooms where occupants are in and out, such as basements and pantries,” Cheatham said. “These products make a big impact even with just a single device, so they’re easy for channel members to sell and potentially build upon later with, for example, a Leviton scene controller.”

EV Chargers

Leviton’s residential EV Charging Solutions allow homeowners to view and schedule charging, manage their power consumption, and prevent breaker overload when using other appliances while charging. Leviton’s new residential 50-amp EV Charging Outlet now enables fast and safe charging outdoors as well.

“All of these innovations assure homeowners of a truly smart ride, and having access to their EV charger and other Leviton devices within the easy-to-use My Leviton dashboard pulls all of these Leviton systems together for users and avoids the need for separate interfaces,” said Cheatham.  

Load Centers

Cheatham confirmed that the Leviton Load Center (LLC) is a great way to enhance electrical safety and reliability.

“With high electricity costs and power outages becoming larger issues, upgrading a panel with smart breakers is a future-proof investment,” she said. “The LLC’s tiered billing and automated load-shedding capabilities within the My Leviton app give homeowners a better understanding of energy-use trends (such as the biggest energy consumers in their home) and helps them identify and modify their activities, while the device’s smart anomaly detection feature establishes the home’s electrical activity baseline and alerts homeowners if it detects an anomaly so that they can get ahead of it.”

Providing insight, safety, and convenience, Cheatham said, “the Leviton Load Center helps homeowners engage in energy management and add smart upgrades to their panel as they go.”

Knowledge is Power

In an electrical landscape marked by rising utility prices and grid instability, being able to view and manage your electrical systems in a user-friendly way gives homeowners greater control over their home’s operations, aesthetics, and expenses -- and this is all possible through the My Leviton app.

“The My Leviton platform integrates all connected Leviton systems within one central interface and provides visibility to them from wherever you are,” Cheatham said. “In doing so, My Leviton empowers homeowners to take greater charge of their energy use and gives them the freedom to tailor their systems and settings to their needs and preferences.”

“Celebrating our milestone 120th anniversary this year, Leviton is a brand that channel members and end users can trust,” confirmed Cheatham of Leviton’s leadership in the smart living arena. “When it comes to our product and app design, we’re a contractor-, distributor-, and consumer-led company built on the pillars of quality, reliability, safety, and convenience. We take pride in continuing to innovate for tomorrow and developing leading-edge products that customers can continue to rely on for the next 120 years.”
